I use DicePro from Rival Game Labs 
(http://www.rivalgamelabs.com/dicepro.htm).  It lets you save multiple 
pre-set  combinations of dice.  in addition to the d4-d100 listed above, 
you can make any intermediate integer number of sides, averaging dice 
(233445), as well as specialty dice for several specific games.  You can 
also add modifiers (2d6+3, best 2 out of 3d8).  There's an amazing 
variety of stuff there.
